i've done both ipv4 and v6, but never embedded. from my perspective, ipv6 addresses can be easier to remember and use, with a little clever arrangement of zeros and especially because they're hexadecimal. that's in addition to the way more elegant way the protocol itself handles various things. obviously not worth upgrading systems that don't even need dhcp, but that applies to a lot of things in that field
